Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If magnets are installed at both ends of the atomizer and power supply assembly to ensure adsorption, then the magnetic connection strength is improved, but the cost increases and assembly becomes more cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the magnet from the atomizer side and relocates it to only the power supply assembly. The fixing member on the atomizer is made of non-magnetic material, eliminating the need for a second magnet while maintaining sufficient magnetic adsorption force through the concentrated magnet on the power supply assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the magnetic connection function with the fixing member structure. The fixing member serves both as a mechanical attachment component and as part of the magnetic circuit, integrating multiple functions into a single component to reduce overall complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If flexible materials are used for the fiber rope and heating wire, then the atomizer structure is more adaptable, but the installation and fixing structures become relatively complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the atomizer into distinct functional modules: a rigid fixing member for structural support and magnetic connection, a sealing assembly for leakage prevention, and flexible components (fiber rope, heating wire) for adaptability. This modular segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different material properties to different locations: rigid non-magnetic material for the fixing member requiring structural stability, and flexible materials for the fiber rope and heating wire requiring adaptability. This local differentiation of material properties optimizes both structural integrity and functional flexibility.
3Ease of manufacture
If the atomizing base is made of plastic or silica gel material, then the manufacturing cost is reduced, but thermal expansion and cold shrinkage cause deformation and looseness during heating
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a composite construction where the atomizing base uses plastic or silica gel for cost-effectiveness, but the fixing member uses a metal-containing composite material with superior thermal stability. This composite approach allows the system to benefit from both low-cost materials and high-stability materials in appropriate locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing member acts as an intermediary between the atomizing base and the power supply assembly. It provides a stable magnetic connection and structural support that compensates for the thermal expansion of the plastic base, maintaining dimensional stability during heating cycles.
